MA1 tends to fill up very fast, the other divisions seem to take a little longer.

Registration will open at 6pm, this Thursday! 4/4.
Only 58 guaranteed MA1 spots... as to accommodate a MPG division. More MA1 spots will open if other divisions don't fill.

Thanks again to 4discgolf.com

Just to beat my favorite dead horse some more...if you offered MA2 and made peeps sign up where their rating placed them...you know the rest.

Hath this whole world been mired in madness?
Remain ye men of faculty complete,
Of full arithmetic and prudence fair,
Attending to our noble bond and contract?
Or does here stand the last remaining man
To give a fig for rules and order yet,
No noble savage, but a stave unbroken
Who loves the law and bids it no misdeed.
Iíll not be bent to lawlessness. Mark it nought, if we be men of honour.

You are correct sir! That rule is one of the major causes of players playing AM forever. Why move up to a division where you'll have a hard time even cashing when you can stick around in MA1 and beat up on players whose ratings show that you'll out play them by over 10 strokes EACH ROUND in a tournament?

Oh I agree with you there,when you said that there should be a MA2 division, it sounded more like you were concerned with lower rated players taking spots up in MA1 that should wait their turn, sign up later and be in MA2. So maybe I'm confused on your point. Maybe that was butterlazer's thinking too? I think anyone should be able to play up in division, right? I think I'm just confused, sorry. I hate when someone SHOULD play up and doesn't...but them's the rules.

I'm one of those high rated players in the MA1 field... Cane me, Cane me I am not even sure I can play this tournament but since I live in Vancouver now, I had to sign up just in case. I am not the same player I was 2 years ago. Full time job, coaching, 2 kids, married life, back to back to back to back injuries and full time rehab have taken it's toll on me and disc golf. My discs have been on strike for quite a while. Played my 2nd round of the year yesterday. And Pier has never been nice to me. I have less than 20 total rounds there in my life... That's my excuse... I will be lucky to place in the top 10 if I play... If I dont, lucky wait lister... But the TD will be informed well in advance of my status if they are reading this post
